CORONATION Street fans have seen big repercussions following the Victoria Court fire last week.

Now, we’ve got the chance to look around the shoot which left Kal (Jimi Mistry) and Maddie (Amy Kelly) dead.

Jane Danson, who plays Leanne Battersby, admitted the stunts were so big that it felt like a big-screen film rather than a small-screen soap.

She said: “It feels a bit like we’re doing a movie, we have a big night shoot ahead of us – Leanne has been trapped in the flat and then she has to get out of the flat and that requires her going down the big ladder.

“I’m not great with it but I’m sure I’ll be fine.”

We also learn that the shoot took place over a number of days, such was the level of filming.

We know characters die, but we do love a super-dramatic soap storyline. Keep them coming Corrie!
